How to Plan Perfect Catering for Your Next Event in Monmouth County
Catering Made Easy in Monmouth County, NJ
Whether you're planning a corporate lunch in Manalapan, a birthday party in Freehold, or a wedding reception in Holmdel, great catering can make or break your event. At Di Santillo's Artisan Sandwiches & Eatery in Marlboro, NJ, we've catered hundreds of events across Monmouth County — and we've learned a few things along the way.
Tip 1: Order More Than You Think You Need
The golden rule of catering: always over-order slightly. People eat more at events than they do at home, especially when the food is exceptional. A good rule of thumb is to plan for 1.5 sandwiches or wraps per person for a lunch event.
Tip 2: Offer Variety
Not everyone eats the same way. Our catering packages include a mix of meat, vegetarian, and lighter options to ensure every guest is satisfied. Our sandwich and wrap platters can be customized to include your preferred combinations.
Tip 3: Plan for Dietary Restrictions
Always ask your guests about dietary restrictions in advance. Di Santillo's can accommodate vegetarian, gluten-sensitive, and dairy-free requests with advance notice.
Tip 4: Order in Advance
For large events (25+ people), we recommend placing your catering order at least 48–72 hours in advance. This ensures we have time to prepare everything fresh and to your specifications.
